Last week we tried something new. We had teams out across the country shutting down Shell petrol stations to protetst their plans to drill for oil in the Arctic this summer. But that wasn't the new part, we've done that before.

So we decided to run a live, 12-hour broadcast of the action, with the footage being played out as it came in, or with a short delay.
